No love for the 25 WSSM? I have a trio of Winchesters in that caliber. One of the most accurate rifles I have is a push feed M70 Coyote in that caliber. We love the .25-06 in our family too. 3 generations of us hunt deer with it. Winchester screwed up they should have designed a 25 WSM many of us thought and hoped Winchester would have made this a commercial cartridge and some rifles.

Own a grand total of two. Both in .25-Oh
First is a Weatherby MK V Ultra-Lightweight. Shoots NUTZ for accurate !!! Only couple whitetails I shot were with 100 grain TTSX and I was highly unimpressed with the quickness of the kill compared to a .30 cal 180 grain Grand Slam projectile placed similarly.
Other one is a gorgeous 700 BDL that I inherited and have never fired and likely never will.

Only have had a couple, both in 25-06, both in Ruger tang safety 77s with the 24 inch magnum weight barrel. The first was sold in early '84 to help cover expenses with a brand new wife & daughter.
The second had the stock shortened two inches, a decelerator 1 inch pad added and gifted to a very petite 13 year old grand daughter.

I had a Remington 700 Classic 25-06 Rem., it was the 1990 Classic model. I traded it in for a '97 700 Classic in 280 Rem. I still have that one. Would love to find another 700 Classic 25-06.

There're a couple 25 Neidners hanging around at my place. One is a 77 tanger, the first factory built hunting rifle I ever bought. It's not going anywhere, nor will it modded in any way. The other is an Interarms Mark X. That one was a $200 pawn shop find that will probably be rebored or rebarreled to something else.

Anybody consider the fact that the 243/6mm is as close to being a true “quarter bore” as the 257/25-06,etc… No because they’re called “quarter bores”. .243 is the groove diameter, the bore diameter on a 6mm is .237”. The bore diameter on a 257 is…wait for it… .250”

I have Remington 700 Classic in 250 Savage. I have had a Remington 700 in 257 Roberts, Ruger 1V in 25-06 Remington, and a Savage 16 in 250 Savage. I should have kept the Savage 16 in 250 Savage.

This thread is encouraging, since I am trying to properly feed and enjoy the .250 Savage, a .257 AI and a 25-284.

One of several nice groups with the .257 Roberts at 100 yards. And another....5 shots My .250 Savage ain't jealous. 8 shots, 100 yards. Guess which one was the flyer...
I am..........disturbed.

We love the .25-06 in our family too. 3 generations of us hunt deer with it. I adjusted the trigger on bud’s M-70, 25 WSSM. What a nice little rifle. I’m not much on WSSM’s but loved the way that little rifle handled. Bud has plenty of brass and supplies, which would be my concern. I was asking how well it fed rounds, he said just fine and accurate. The factory cut checkering looked sorta raw. I added Tru-Oil to the checkering, worked it over with a tooth brush, wiped away the excess. It sure did make it look better. He was pleased. DF
